JAMES I-IOYT BROWN, 01? DENVER, COLORADO.

WATCH-BOW FASTENER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed December 11, 1911.

Patented Jan. '7, 1913.

Serial No. 665,185.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES HOYT BROWN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Denver, in the county of Denver and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Watch-Bow Fasteners; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable other skilled persons in the art to which it appert-ains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to watch cases, and particularly to the pendant and pendant bow, and for such means or construction of both pendant and pendant how that will prevent the said how from getting out when attached to the said pendant, and it has for its object, a simple, durable and inexpensive device or means that will permit the pendant bow to be easily and quickly attached to or detached from the said pendant with thumb and finger.

It consists of the special construction of the said pendant and pendant bow hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings'forming a portion of these specifications, Figure 1 represents a view of the pendant of a watch case, showing a part of my invention. Fig. 2 represents a sectional view of said pendant. Fig. 3 represents a pendant bow, showing my improvement on same. Fig. 4 represents the pendant of a watch case wit-h a pendant bow in position to be sprung or pulled into a finished position. Fig. 5 represents a pendant of a watch case with pendant bow attached, showing my invention in a finished position.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout all the views.

In Fig. 1, A represents the pendant of a watch case. B represents the holes which receive the pendant bow. C represents the wall of said hole. C represents a reduced portion of said wall. D represents an opening into the hole B E. E. represent the sides or wall of said opening. F represents the beveled portion of the pendant.

In Fig. 3, G represents a pendant bow with both ends cut square as at I I and running on a straight line toward each other from H H. J J represent a beveled portion on the upper or inner side of the square end I of the bow Gr.

Fig. 4 is a view of the pendant of a watch case, showing a pendant bow with one end of said bow inserted into the hole B in one end of the pendant A and the other free endof said bow tilted below the opposite hole B with the beveled portion J on the end of the bow Gr resting against the beveled portion F of the pendant A. To complete the operation of attaching said bow to said pendant, the beveled portion J of the end I of the bow G which rest against the beveled portion of said pendant A is easily pulled upward with thumb and finger. The beveled portion J of the said bow G slides against the beveled portion F of the pendant A, thus causing the said bow to spring and spread as it nears the opening D of the hole B in the side of the pendant A, and when directly opposite the said hole B the said bow G snaps firmly and securely into place in the hole B and is in a finished position in the said pendant A, and cannot be pulled 0r twisted out by reason of the pendant bow Gr being cut square oil at the ends I and are inserted into the holes at right angles.

It will be seen in Fig. 5, that the straight portion or ends of the bow G rests squarely against the reduced portion of the wall C of the hole B in the pendant A, which prevents the bow G from being pushed downward.

This invention may be used in either or both ends of the said pendant A.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,

1. A watch case pendant having bow-receiving holes or recesses and a slot through the side wall of one hole at substantially right angle-s to the axial line of said holes.

2. A watch case pendant bow with straight parallel terminals cut square at the ends signature in the presence of tWo Witnesses,

and beveled at the inner and upper sides. this seventh day of December, 1911.

3. A Watch case pendant with a slot or a T groove opening into the holes of the said JAMES H011 BROWN 5 pendant in combination With a pendant Witnesses: bow. IRVING C. ADAMS,
